Correct, Mr 440-6 Mopar,
My error,,,,
Also, as per the 'January 1963' Chrysler Internal Literature,,,,,,,
The 383 was to be available with a
* 383/305 HP......with 10.0-1 Compression (2-Barrel)......Dodge Polara 500 'only'.
* 383/320 HP......with 11.0-1 Compression (4-Barrel)
* 383/325 HP..... with 11.0-1 Compression ('Dual-Quad')
Yet, they came up with a 383/330 HP.......with 10.0-1 Compression (4-Barrel) only combination.
And plans for a 426-S 'Street-Wedge'
* 426/370 HP
* 426/375 HP
Neither made it......
Performance Results
* Dodge Polara, 383/330 HP - 4-Speed - 3.23 Gears.....................................15.70 @ 87 MPH
* Dodge Polara, 383/330 HP - 4-Speed - 3.91 Gears (Dealer Installed).......15.10 @ 91 MPH
